Minimally Invasive Surgery London

Minimally invasive surgery is almost a contradiction in terms as any form of surgery is by nature “invasive”.

Minimising it, therefore, takes great skill, and in David Redfern’s case, original and ground-breaking technique.

“David Redfern invented the MICA technique, otherwise known as Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin.”

The technique was developed with a French colleague, aimed at correcting bunions using keyhole surgery, and his since been adopted widely around the world.

Minimally Invasive Surgery in more detail

This type of surgery has been enabled by advances in technology which have allowed the development of very small drills.

It is because of this specific type of tool delicate cuts can be made to the bones, usually just a few mms in length.

This makes the technique particularly suitable for those who are older, patients who are diabetic, and individuals who have fragile skin.
